About the Cover
Certain fish species have proved to be especially good for the production of domesticated strains, including several livebearers, angelfish, and discus, like the one on our cover this month. Through hybridization and selective breeding a multitude of discus varieties have been created, with new ones arriving on the market regularly. Read about the history and current status of discus breeding in San Francisco in our feature article about master breeder Cliff Young (p. 100).
